Performance Upgrades for 2007 V70R

Alright all you performance gurus out there, I need some advice. I have some cash burning a hole in my pocket so I want to do a couple upgrades to my 2007 V70R. I'm looking to do an exhaust system, intake and some tuning. What would you performance guys recommend? What upgrades would I need to do i....

Exhaust S60R-V70R

Is the exhaust compatible between a S60R and a V70R? I'm looking for an aftermarket exhaust for my 2007 V70R but see WAY more companies that say they make it for the S60R. I think they are relatively the same with the exception of length at the resonator which I am planning on removing and building ...

Re: replacing cup holder near center stack

You will need a T25 torx screw driver, a flatheat screwdriver and a philips screwdriver. Remove all cds in the stereo before starting. Begin by putting the key in the ignition and turning it to the second position and put the car in drive. Then do yourself a favor and disconnect the negative battery...

Re: replacing cup holder near center stack

And what year and model is your car? Do you have the cup holder now and it just isn't working anymore or are you replacing the little cubby space with a cup holder?

Re: replacing cup holder near center stack

Hey! Depends on the year and head unit. I recently installed one on my 07 v70r and it wasn't too bad. It took maybe an hour. What are you working with? What model head unit?

Exhaust Compatability

I was wondering what exhaust systems are compatible between the V70R and S60R if any? Are they pretty much the same except for the length between the two? I have an 07 V70R and am noticing that more companies make 3" exhaust systems for the S60R. Will any of these work with the addition of an e...

Re: ARD Tuning - Hello

I'm going to be upgrading my 07 VR's exhaust with a downpipe that eliminates the cat as well as a catback system in addition to my intake system. I looked at the ARD Carbon as a tuning solution to go with those upgrades but am not really sure how it works. I guess I'm looking for a general descripti...

Re: Tightening wastegate and fuel psi

Well a boost controller was something I was going to do too but without matching the boost pressure to the fuel psi it can get a little wasteful. You don't happen to know the stock fuel psi do you? I don't want it to run too lean because I have turned up the boost without allowing for enough fuel. S...

Tightening wastegate and fuel psi

I was considering tightening up the wastegate on my 2007 v70r but I know that this mod can only really be done to a point before you essentially cannot get any real gain without upgrading the fuel system to accommodate the boost pressure. Does anyone know what the stock fuel psi is and what would be...
